After running B's Recorder GOLD, even when I put a CD-ROM disc into my MP5120 drive, nothing appears on Windows Explorer.
While the drive is being used by B's Recorder GOLD as a recorder drive, the drive will not appear on Windows Explorer.
This is a specification of the software, the drive will appear again after you quit B's Recorder Gold.
When you are going to copy a disc and the PC does not have another CD-ROM drive, it is better to use the 'CD Back-up' function. This function allows you to copy using only one DVD+RW/CD-RW drive by creating an image file on the HDD. |

The eject button will not work after I wrote some data with B's CLiP. How can I eject the disc?

Right-mouse click on the B's CLiP icon on the Task Bar, and choose Eject. |

The LED of the drive blinks all the time, after I formated a DVD+RW disc with B's CLiP. Is that OK?
There is no problem. DVD+RW formatting with B's CLiP software will take only about one minute, and then it will allow you to use the DVD+RW disc. Because the formatting will actually continue in the background while the drive is not used, the LED will blink during the process. It will take about 20 or 30 minutes.
Even while the LED is blinking, you will be able to eject the disc at anytime. |

Can CD-R media be used with B's CLiP?

B's CLiP should have asked me to choose an option when ejecting the DVD+RW disc I had just written. However, no message appeared.
The reason for the message with some options will be because background formatting has not been completed yet.
After background formatting is completed, it is normal that no message appears when a DVD+RW disc is ejected. |
